    I was browsing around IKEA this morning, which is a much more successful and long lasting Viking raid on our shores than ya horny beardys eva was and I noticed that they had a range of office tables named Galant.

    Fingers in many pies Carmine? I'd wondered were you'd been.

    You'd be surprised where my fingers get to Ern.

    Well when I say surprised I mean horrified.

    My ancestry comes from Normandy, he's probably my great, great grandad.

    Could do with a haircut mind.

    The problem you've got here is that nowadays beards are the domain of hipsters.

    The only thing I've seen marauding groups of hipsters pilage is a branch of T K Maxx.

    Good grief they look horrendous. They clearly didn't look in a mirror before leaving the house. Mine will be a little more ahem less like I have my wares on display.

    Aye, you're not wrong mate.

    Party has a full set and a sleeve tattoo and he's Hulls biggest hipster.

    I wonder if the plain old bangers and mash will ever make a comeback?

    I hope so, I really do.

    Party can often be seen in theiving harrys downing double espressos. Tells me they have the best barista in town.

    I've grown my bangers for movember and I like what I see in the mirror.

    Our lass isn't so keen though.

    I won't lie to you pal, I don't get this barista carry on.

    Surely it's a trendy name given to someone who can make a brew?

    What sort of bangers you gone for ?

    Said the same thing to party but he got all offended.

    I started by going for a full handlebar but it wasn't really me.

    So I just went for a nice, neat Tom Selleck. You can't go wrong with it.

    Obviously when I shave it off I try out the hitler tache.

    Any chance you might venture out of your HU 1 penthouse with the Fuhrer tache?

    Maybe a quick jaunt to buy a skinny choco latte from Costa?

    I could do that.

    It was too soon for the fella from sparks to try bringing it back. But enough time has passed now.

    I doubt anyone will even give you a sideways glance.

    Such an appealing and manly look shouldn't be resigned to history just because one of its most famous advocates turned out to be a right bell end.

    I recall a whimsical tale of my son going to a school dramatical performance dressed as Chaplin only to be called Hitler by his mates , he came home in tears.

    Oh how the wife and I laughed.

    I do rate a good barista.

    I value it.

    Look, some of us want to taste the whole bean. Ok?

    A barista who takes pride in their work gives you that. They're artists, really. I put their art in my mouth. Their bean. It's nice.

    Maybe we should all loosen up a bit. Drink a coffee, skip a shave, bare some ink. Let it hang out.

    Hey, this is the city of culture. Feel the culture.

    Moments like that that make a man of the boy.

    All that female attention I'll get with the Hitler might make our lass a bit jealous though. Not sure if I can be doing with that.

    Maybe I'll give brady this one. He really needs that kind of attention.

    I used to like coffee when you could buy Mellow Birds but not now. This modern stuff is nowhere near as good.

    I had an iced frappachino once and it made my head hurt.

    I don't know if that's the right spelling either.


    I just stick to booze these days and I shave as little as possible, a bit like Lee Langman.


    Quite fancy getting a tattoo though.

    On my face.
